About Maminha

Maminha, also known as rump tail or sirloin cap, is a flavorful cut of beef commonly used in Brazilian cuisine, particularly in churrasco-style barbecues. It comes from the bottom portion of the sirloin and is prized for its tenderness and rich, beefy taste. Maminha typically contains a moderate amount of marbling, contributing to its juiciness and flavor when cooked. Nutritionally, it offers a good source of high-quality protein, iron, and essential vitamins like B12, which are vital for energy and muscle health. However, it also contains saturated fat, so moderation is key if managing heart health or cholesterol levels. Cooking methods like grilling or roasting with minimal added fats can help maintain its nutritional balance. Maminha is versatile, often sliced thin for sandwiches, diced for stews, or marinated and grilled to enhance its natural flavor while supporting a balanced meal.
